Priced for a summer
A 5×5 starts at $38 a month, and splitting a 5×10 three ways costs less than a night out.
Storage type
Summer storage that ends when the lease does.
A dorm room's worth of space for the months between spring finals and fall move-in — small units, short terms, and a move-out date that doesn't cost you a penalty.
- Summer-length rentals
- Split a unit with roommates

How student storage works
Student storage is a small unit — usually a 5×5 or 5×10 — rented for the three or four months between leases. You can rent it online, get a gate code instantly, and hand access to a roommate or a parent.
Because everything is month-to-month, there's no summer contract to sign and no penalty for coming back early. Rent in May, move out in August, pay only for what you used.
- Typical term
- 3–4 months, May to August
- Sizes
- 5×5 and 5×10
- Sharing
- Add roommates as authorized users
- Climate
- Recommended for electronics and books
Why people choose it
Roommates get their own codes
Each person on the unit has a personal gate code, so nobody waits on anybody.
Rent from your phone
Sign and pay online in about nine minutes — useful during finals week.
No penalty for leaving early
Ten days' notice and we prorate the rest. Internships change; leases shouldn't punish that.
Climate keeps books usable
Textbooks, laptops and posters come out of a climate unit in the same shape they went in.
Parents can handle move-out
Add a parent as an authorized user and they can clear the unit without you flying back.
Is this the right pick?
Yes, if…
- Your lease ends in May and starts again in September
- You're studying abroad or interning out of state
- Three roommates want to split one unit
- Dorm furniture, a mini fridge and bins need a home
- You're moving between apartments across town
- You want your parents to be able to pick it all up
Maybe not, if…
- A full apartment of furniture — household storage sizes fit better
- A car for the summer — see vehicle storage
- Storing food, plants or anything perishable
- You need someone to pack and haul the room for you

Quick answers
- Can I rent for just the summer?
- Yes. Every lease is month-to-month, so a May-to-August rental is the normal case, not an exception.
- Can roommates share one unit?
- Absolutely. Add each roommate as an authorized user and everyone gets their own gate code and their own entry log.
- Do I need climate control?
- For laptops, textbooks, instruments and anything with a screen, yes. For bikes and plastic bins, drive-up is fine.
- Can my parents move my things out?
- Yes, as long as they're listed as an authorized user on the unit. You can add them from your phone in under a minute.
- What if my internship ends early?
- Give ten days' notice, clear the unit and we prorate the unused days back — there's no early-termination fee.
- Which facility is closest to campus?
- St. Louis Park and Roseville are the two closest to the U of M and the Como-area rentals, both under fifteen minutes off 280.
